GranolaMeeting IntelligenceMeeting Attendance Rate
Meeting Attendance Rate measures the percentage of invited participants who actually attend a meeting. Low attendance suggests that meetings are perceived as low-value, poorly timed, or include too broad an invite list. High attendance indicates relevance and effective scheduling.

Why Meeting Attendance Rate matters for Granola users
Persistent low attendance is a vote of no confidence in a meeting's value. When people consistently skip meetings, they are signalling that their time is better spent elsewhere - a message that should prompt organisational reflection rather than stricter attendance enforcement.
For Granola users, attendance data across meeting types reveals which meetings are genuinely valued and which are tolerated. This insight enables meeting portfolio rationalisation - keeping high-attendance, high-value meetings and reformatting or eliminating the rest.

Meeting Outcome Effectiveness
Meeting IntelligenceOutcome Effectiveness = Meetings with Tangible Outcomes / Total Meetings × 100
Meeting Outcome Effectiveness measures the proportion of meetings that produce at least one tangible outcome - a decision made, an action item assigned, a problem resolved, or a plan agreed upon. It separates productive meetings from informational sessions and status updates that could be asynchronous.
View metricMeeting Cadence Optimisation
Meeting IntelligenceMeeting Cadence Optimisation evaluates whether the frequency of recurring meetings matches actual communication needs. It analyses patterns such as short meetings that could be async, cancelled occurrences that suggest over-scheduling, and meeting clusters that fragment focus time.
View metricParticipant Engagement Score
Meeting IntelligenceParticipant Engagement Score measures how actively each meeting participant contributes, considering factors such as speaking time, questions asked, ideas contributed, and interaction with other participants. It identifies silent attendees who may not need to be present and highlights facilitation opportunities to improve inclusivity.
View metricMeeting Frequency Rate
Meeting IntelligenceMeeting Frequency Rate = Total Meetings / Time Period
Meeting Frequency Rate measures the number of meetings per person, team, or organisation within a given period. It provides visibility into meeting load and its impact on available focus time. High frequency rates correlate with reduced productivity, particularly for roles that require deep, uninterrupted work.
